Transmitter Pre-Emphasis Levels
Exception for PCIe Gen2 design:
•
VOD setting = 50 and pre-emphasis setting = 22 are allowed for PCIe Gen2 design with transmit de-emphasis –6dB setting (pipe_txdeemp =
1’b0) using Altera PCIe Hard IP and PIPE IP cores.
•
VOD setting = 50 and pre-emphasis setting = 12 are allowed for PCIe Gen2 design with transmit de-emphasis –3.5dB setting (pipe_txdeemp =
1’b1) using Altera PCIe Hard IP and PIPE IP cores.
For example, when VOD = 800 mV, the corresponding VOD value setting is 40. The following conditions show that the 1st post tap pre-emphasis
setting = 2 is valid:
•
•
•
|B| + |C| ≤ 60→ 40 + 2 = 42
|B| – |C| > 5→ 40 – 2 = 38
(VMAX/VMIN – 1)% < 600%→ (42/38 – 1)% = 10.52%
To predict the pre-emphasis level for your specific data rate and pattern, run simulations using the Cyclone V HSSI HSPICE models.
